A Shadbolt Presentation with Cellar Jazz
Valentines Jazz Evening
VJO plays the music of Dave Robbins Happy Faces
Join us for a wonderful evening celebrating the love of jazz!
The Vancouver Jazz Orchestra (VJO), under the direction of saxophonist/clarinetist James Danderfer, features an array of the city's finest jazz artists. The VJO is dedicated to the presentation of classic big band music as well as a focus on Vancouver composers, past and present. Recent performances have featured international artists such as Jeremy Pelt and Seamus Blake and 2025 promises to be the VJO’s biggest year yet starting off with this very unique presentation.
This evening will feature one of Vancouver's "Legacy" composers Dave Robbins. Robbins was a seminal figure in the development of large ensemble jazz in Vancouver, nationally across Canada, and beyond. He made invaluable contributions as a trombonist, bandleader, arranger/composer, and teacher to the fine art of big band and jazz orchestra performance. It’s been criminal that no recordings of large jazz ensembles led by Robbins have been available for years. Instead, studio and live recordings that were made were passed between enthusiasts privately. That was the case until now, with the happy release of Happy Faces. Join the VJO as they celebrate the release of HAPPY FACES on Reel To Real Recordings.
Sit back, relax, and let the smooth melodies sweep you away. A cabaret setting will provide a cozy atmosphere and intimate setting, a bar will be available for beverage and snack purchases. Don’t miss out on this special occasion event. Grab your tickets now and get ready to be serenaded!
